Video Compression
Approximately six times more bandwidth-efficient at every resolution from 480p to 8K.
EVE Codec is a GPU-accelerated video compression stack engineered for contested links, bandwidth-bound networks, and storage-constrained operations. It targets the bitrate envelope where conventional codecs fail to deliver usable video and has been field-validated in military and commercial deployments.
Capabilities
What EVE Codec delivers.
Six-times the efficiency at every tier
Holds quality at roughly one-sixth the bitrate of major streaming platforms across every resolution from 480p to 8K. Approximately 2x over H.264 and 33% over H.265 at matched perceptual quality.
NVIDIA-native pipeline
Encode and decode pipelines built on CUDA, NVENC, and TensorRT. Runs end-to-end on the GPU with no CPU fallback, from Jetson Orin at the edge to data-center GPUs in the rear.
TRL 9 maturity
Field-deployed and validated in military and commercial production. Not a research codec; a shipping system with operational hours behind it.
Forensic watermarking option
A/B spread-spectrum spatial watermark layer available for licensee programs requiring tamper-evident or attribution-bearing video.
Bitrate envelope
Bandwidth efficiency at every resolution tier.
Each row compares the bitrate at which a major streaming platform delivers the resolution against the bitrate at which EVE Codec holds matched perceptual quality. Methodology and source-format-specific notes are available under NDA.
| Resolution | Industry (Mbps) | EVE Codec (Mbps) | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| 480p | 1.4 | 0.25 | 5.6x |
| 720p | 3.7 | 0.60 | 6.2x |
| 1080p | 7.4 | 1.00 | 7.4x |
| 4K | 18.9 | 3.00 | 6.3x |
| 8K | 55.0 | 8.00 | 6.9x |
Industry bitrates reflect representative figures from major streaming platforms. EVE Codec figures reflect target operational bitrates at matched perceptual quality. Approximately 2x improvement over H.264 and 33% improvement over H.265 at matched perceptual quality.
